Get Up And Jump - RHCP

If She Knew What She Wants - The Bangles

My daughter rang me last Tuesday to say that her and her partner had got tickets to the Saturday gig... ... and that they'd got my wife and I tickets as well. I'm chuffed to bits. 😊

Howzat?

Is it over?

Holidays in the Sun - Sex Pistols

Yet you had to pitch in.

Swamp Music - Lynyrd Skynyrd

The seller is bilingual. He speaks English, and bollocks!

Too Much Too Young - The Specials

I'd guess they had more than one in forty years. A few of their songs use one and I'd want at least a couple of back ups if touring a plastic 'toy'. But I know what you mean. 🙂

Has it got a 3 band EQ? I usually like a scooped tone with the treble and bass controls on a sensible amount. But the... ahem, wait for it... ... silly mid off.

Am I right in thinking Synergy aren't the people to contact anymore?

I'm feeling the same about the Smoked Almond Metallic Embassy, a tort plate on this would look great. I nearly broke but just splurged my money on something else.

Funny I should stumble across this old post as there's a Vintage Tony Butler for sale local to me that I liked the look of, but I favour the slimmer end of the scale neckwise so you saved me some money. There's also a vintage Tony Butler that lives local to me but that's an entirely different thing. 😁

Annoyingly the wood on my PH is nicer on the back than the front. Being three pieces and a translucent finish, it shows on the front but blends together nicely on the back. It's much nicer in the flesh which I'm sure glad about. The maple sandwich looks nice though. It's just glorified plywood. 😁 Gratuitous pics. 😉

If I'm wearing a belt I put it through starting one loop to the left so that the buckle is to left. Makes taking yer troosers off more difficult but saves your bass.

I'd happily gig mine. But I'm pretty careful with my basses anyway when gigging. I've yet to do any damage other than fingernail marks and the usual fret wear. It probably won't get gigged at the moment as it's not right for the band image wise, but that's only because I have more visually suitable basses. If this was my only bass I'd be gigging it all the time.

I was gonna say if he earnt out of it he'd probably be up for it. 🤣 Or he'd sign it, keep it, and sell it as a rarity at his next auction. 🤣

I could send Hooky my control cavity cover along with a grovelling letter. 😁

Puts me in mind of Noel Gallagher with Wayne Rooneys Les Paul. "I got this rambling letter from Coleen Rooney saying 'it's Wayne's 21st. He's a huge fan. It'd be great if you could sign it for him.' "And I was like 'cheeky, what?' "So, I took all the parts off it, got my mate who is a decorator to dip it in sky blue emulsion paint, wait for it to dry, put all the parts back on it, graffitied it with quite questionable Man City songs and sent it back to him with letter saying, 'Happy birthday, Sponge Bob. Next time you want ‘owt signing send us your Bentley.’

Twice it would seem.

What the hell did I just watch? 😂
